Hanasakeru Seishounen
Seeing as how there appears to be no thread for this series yet, I thought I might as well make one so it doesn't slip between the cracks completely.
Hanasakeru Seishounen is by Itsuki Natsumi, probably best known in Japan for Yakumo Tatsu, but best known here for Juu-ou-sei. Her works tend to be interesting and complex, so for those of you that are expecting a typical "reverse harem" scenario, think again. (Most reverse harem series don't start off with a subplot in 1939 New York) Quote:
Also of interest--even to a person like me, who can barely remember seiyuu names--is the cast list: Endo Aya is playing the lead, who has the headache-inducing name of Kajika Louisa Kugami Burnsworth. Namikawa Daisuke is Rumati, and then Ono Daisuke as Eugene, Fukuyama Jun as Carl, and Morikawa Toshiyuki as Fan Li Ren.

I believe there was a group listed on the "who's subbing what" list, so I'll keep my fingers crossed. Shoujo actually tends to do okay on their board as compared to others, so I was a little surprised to see no one had bothered to make a thread...

Anyway. I thought the first episode was great, although I fully acknowledge that I've been hyped up for this show for months (I loved most of Jyu-Oh-Sei and what little I've read of Demon Sacred) and deliberately champion underdog shows for some unknown reason. Kajika's a great central character, and I'm looking forward to discovering the substance behind the harem-like premise. |

It is obvious that Lee-ren is not happy about the game thing. It will be interesting to see who she chooses. also, this is going to be 39 episodes long(the pain) |

Perhaps NeoSam is too manly to have such thoughts such as the ones that girls can have harem too? Don't kill me.
The reason I don't follow reverse harem because there isn't enough fan-service. I know for a harem series that I can always look forward to a mandatory beach-episode. Why can't reverse harem have one in a regular basis? Surely the idea the dudes donning on their trunks and a healthy application of sunscreen to look pica-pica (shiny) isn't too far out of the generic equation of fanservice. The camera can also focus on the flexing muscle, some pecs' action... and a crotch-shot for the finishing touch. Not too shavvy. I'll check out the first episode since LKK-sensei is showing interest in it.

I removed the manga spoiler, Golthin. You can always start a manga thread for this title in the Manga section and discuss the particulars there. Let's try our best to keep the anime-only viewers as spoiler-free as possible.

Is it really going to be 39 episodes long?? Where did you hear that?

Spoiler for ep 1:

One thing I'm looking forward to is the fact that this is based on a finished manga. I don't know how it ends and I don't want to know. But knowing that it does end leads me to hope that the series might come to a conclusion which is somewhat rare nowadays. I'm a little tired of series that don't reach a conclusion. A problem that frequently occurs with series based on in-progress manga or novel series.

A LiveJournal friend offered to spoil me for the ending before the first episode even aired. I told her thanks, but no thanks. There is an LJ community for Hanasakeru Seishounen. If you're an LJ member, you can join the comm and ask for spoilers there. The comm's founder knows how the series ends and would love to have new members join.

By the way, the 39 episodes comes from animenation and they got it from an interview with one of the seiyuu for the show. |

I just saw ep1, and if it fulfills the promise I saw, 39 eps isn't too long. I found the story interesting and the characters individual. Endou Aya's Kajika is a very attractive character. We'll see what they can do with the premise.

It will be fun to see the Shipping wars in this gem. I will restrain myself from spoiling anyone about the ending. I wanted to watch the anime, but I didn't want to invest my heart on a pairing. 39 episodes is a long way to go and I didn't think I could survive it. I am just going to enjoy the show at its fullest without worrying about the romantic side of things. I want to thank LKK for pointing me the way to a place where I was able to find the information I was looking for.
